Our lab provides robust assessments of energy expenditure and body composition including indirect calorimetry, air displacement plethysmography (BOD POD), and segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Measures of vascular function include brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD), pulse wave velocity, pulse wave analysis, and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
